Dual Pallet – High-Speed Fully Automatic

DP HS FA

The Dual Pallet Fully High Speed Automatic Palletizing Cell is designed for large companies with multiple packaging lines and need palletizing stations that can handle two production lines simultaneously. It can run up to 14 cycles or picks per minute. The number of packages to be picked per cycle will be product dependent. The two lines feed packages to be picked via independent conveyors which are picked and placed on two correlating pallets. The Fanuc Multi Axis Robot Arm has capacity of 140 kg (308#) is the capacity of a maximum weight per pick including the End Of Arm Tool (EOAT). Higher capacity robots are available for heavier items but the 140 KG capacity most applications. The system can run various packages such as cases, large bags, pails and others which will be placed on the pallet. A fork lift operator will be responsible for loading the pallet into the two loading stations. If a bottom slip sheet is required the operator will place the sheet before loading in the pallet station or an auto slip sheet option is available. The pallet will be placed on a pallet conveyor which transfers it into the cell through a light curtain set that acts as a safety system. Light curtains and interlocks on doors prevent a person from entering the cell while the robot is operational. The cell includes two package infeed conveyors designed to index the packages to the precise pick positions without back pressure. Once a package is in position, a sensor will communicate to the robot that the package is ready to be picked. An indicator light will indicate an operational status to the operator from a distance.

The HMI has a color 10” screen which is intuitive and easy to follow, with three levels of access for the operator, maintenance, and engineer levels. The HMI will provide details on each fault and steps to clear them. The HMI also contains a manual, schematics to facilitate maintenance and engineering when needed. The Allen-Bradley PLC controls the entire system while the HMI provides an intuitive set of screens to run the palletizing cell. The EOAT is specific to the type of package to be loaded.
